Recent goat donation activity in Burkina

Goats donation to the women in Burkina Faso

A Burkina Faso proverb says that water is not just necessary for life; it is life. Clean water, meaning water free of bacteria such as e-coli and other worms is essential for a community well-being. To achieve the objectives of clean water for the rural communities, deep wells need to be dug. A well not only provides water for drinking and cooking but also for gardening.

Due to low rainfalls and poor soils conditions, the country has a subsistence type agriculture. Most people do not produce enough food to feed their families year round. In addition, malnutrition is pronounced in the rural areas and affects children mental and physical development.

The purpose of the goat program is to empower women living in extreme poverty with a mean to become self-sufficient as the goats are having offspring. Each goat is an asset that can be sold in the market during hardship times for food, clothing, medicine and other pressing needs the woman and her family might be facing.
